What additional source would most strengthen a historian’s understanding of the agreement referenced in this document (choose one type), and what specific information would it provide?

Use evidence from the document to justify your choice.

Use two details from the document to explain how U.S. westward expansion could include both compromise and conflict with foreign nations.

Based on the notice, which piece of evidence best shows a compromise with a foreign nation during westward expansion?

Which inference about U.S. beliefs is best supported by the document’s message?

Which statement best describes the purpose of this document?

Based on the document and reading, which event is the best example of compromise with a foreign nation in this situation?

Explain how this document could help a historian build a chronological account of U.S. expansion involving foreign nations.

Identify one strength and one limitation, using specific evidence from the document or reading stimulus.

Which event most logically happened immediately before the treaty described in the document was ratified?

Which timeline statement is best supported by the date and message of the document?

Use two pieces of evidence (one from the date and one from the wording/visual features) to explain where this document fits in a sequence of events: conflict → negotiation → agreement → settlement.

Describe what likely comes next.

Contextualize these excerpts by explaining how American beliefs (such as Manifest Destiny and the need for resources) could apply to both events, even though the foreign nations involved were different.

Use evidence from the document and the reading stimulus.

Which comparison is best supported by the two excerpts?

Compare the two excerpts: Identify one similarity and one difference in how U.S. expansion is described.

Use a specific detail from each excerpt (or its heading) as evidence.

Which piece of evidence from the document best supports the idea that U.S. expansion involved compromise rather than only force?

Which statement best contextualizes why the two agreements might have occurred in different ways?

Which map feature is the strongest evidence that the U.S. border with British territory was set through compromise?

Which inference about foreign relations is best supported by a border drawn at a latitude line (like the 49th parallel) rather than following only a river?

Explain one way this map notice helps a historian understand westward expansion and one way it is limited.

In each case, cite a specific geographic detail from the map or reading stimulus.

Use two map details (for example, the boundary line and one physical feature) to explain how geography could shape both compromise and conflict between the United States and Great Britain in the Oregon Country.

Based on the map’s labels, which geographic factor would most likely affect where settlers traveled and built towns in this region?

Which conclusion best connects this broadside to the idea that U.S. expansion could involve compromise with foreign nations?

Which detail from the broadside is the best evidence that economic incentives were used to attract settlers?

Based on the document, which geographic feature is most directly tied to economic activity in the area?

Explain how at least two economic details from the broadside (for example, prices, resources, or trade routes) could influence decisions to migrate and settle in the West.

Use evidence from the document.

Evaluate this broadside as a source for understanding economic motives behind westward expansion.

Identify one strength and one limitation, and support each with a specific document feature or detail.
